This practical, tutorial-style book uses the Kali Linux distribution to teach Linux basics with a focus on how hackers would use them. Topics include Linux command line basics, filesystems, networking, BASH basics, package management, logging, and the Linux kernel and drivers. If you're getting started along the exciting path of hacking, cybersecurity, and pentesting, Linux Basics for Hackers is an excellent first step. Using Kali Linux, an advanced penetration testing distribution of Linux, you'll learn the basics of using the Linux operating system and acquire the tools and techniques you'll need to take control of a Linux environment. First, you'll learn how to install Kali on a virtual machine and get an introduction to basic Linux concepts. Next, you'll tackle broader Linux topics like manipulating text, controlling file and directory permissions, and managing user environment variables. You'll then focus in on foundational hacking concepts like security and anonymity and learn scripting skills with bash and Python. Practical tutorials and exercises throughout will reinforce and test your skills as you learn how to: Cover your tracks by changing your network information and manipulating the rsyslog logging utility Write a tool to scan for network connections, and connect and listen to wireless networks Keep your internet activity stealthy using Tor, proxy servers, VPNs, and encrypted email Write a bash script to scan open ports for potential targets Use and abuse services like MySQL, Apache web server, and OpenSSH Build your own hacking tools, such as a remote video spy camera and a password cracker Hacking is complex, and there is no single way in.

This book is useful for beginners/intermediates
I decided to give this book 4 stars just because I like the way it is laid out (speaking frankly colour in the book wouldn't have gone a miss, it is all black and white with a little grey) and also that it is useful if you are just beginning to get into all this stuff. There were parts that when I followed along it worked and some other parts it didn't work but that is because I didn't have all the proper tools/packages installed. I am wondering why carefulbuyer decided to buy this surely he could read the title of the book?? I read his review and since he was already familiar with all the concepts it made no sense and his weird thing of wanting to find new information didn't make sense given what the title is, I suppose some new concepts could be introduced however since this was clearly aimed at beginners and people with very little knowledge then he just decided to buy the book to bash the author which I think is wrong. There are parts the author could improve in the next book if they decide to write a new book or a more advanced book in the future. A little bit of testing while also writing the book couldn't have gone a miss either, however if the book doesn't tell you what packages you need and you need to do research on the internet to find out I will just guess that is the author not spoon feeding everything to you, you don't learn by being given everything, you get given a little and you make something from that and what you don't know you find out from research yourself. I am using my real name because people can use any name for their reviews and I find leaving the real name allows reviewers who read the reviews to say yes this guy must be real or this guy was clearly paid to write a review. Regardless of whether you read the reviews or not just think carefully whether you want to spend your money on this book as it is your money and only you can make the decision whether to spend it or not. Always do the research first before buying. Thank You for reading this review Mark

Great start
Delivery on timeso good start. Was a little unsure at first given the price and with so many books out there had me at first however I am glad I purchased this book due to watching some videos on YT with Occupy the Web and also his huge praise and skills on "X". I have been trying Linux for some years start to learn then stop yet past few year I have looked back into Kali Linux and this book is a must have for anyone starting out in Linux or even refreshing some basics. About time we had a good simple effective book and for this it is worth the money👍

Super cool book
I am relatively new with Linux I am familiar with various distros, and I have worked on improving my knowledge and use of the terminal, etc. This book has really helped me answer tons of questions I've made myself on processes to follow to accomplish various tasks, this comment is vage however the point here is that I was able to find solutions over different topics of Linux in one place.

I’ve long been wanting for this!
Unix administration has long been thought to be some secret art taught from farther to son. Now the secret is unleashed!

Very informative and straight to the point
Although I am a seasoned professional, I found this book extremely informative if you want to learn the absolute basics of hacking. I can definitely recommend this to anyone, beginner or professional.

Direto, prático e essencial para iniciantes em segurança
Este é um livro muito bom e direto ao ponto. Traz o essencial para quem quer aprender Linux sem enrolação, especialmente voltado para o uso em segurança e pentesting com Kali. A abordagem é prática, clara e ideal para quem busca uma introdução eficiente. Soube depois que já existe uma segunda edição — com certeza vou me atualizar, porque o conteúdo realmente vale a pena.
